Yes, it's an HP notebook, xh455, which has a configuration almost exactly the 
same as the n5470, except that it has only a DVD vs DVD/RW combo for the 
latter, and a smaller HD (20 GB vs 30 GB).  Actually I was almost ready for 
the n5470, but when I saw this model, the difference in price just made it 
irresistable. 

The n5470 is $90 cheaper at Sams than Circuit City, which is another $100 
cheaper than CompUSA.
